PAN APLAY
Actually, there's a pun aplay here as pan is aplay
underneath a panoply of forest canopy.
PAN APLAY © 1972, © 2000 Keith Halonen
Image area: 6 × 7 inches (15 × 18 cm) - Time study: appr. 22 hours
Color inks and color pencil on cold press illustration board
Image archived 1972, 3.2 × 3.9 inches on 5×7 Kodak interneg via
64-lamp flat lens copy camera, archived 2003 from neg @ 3200 dpi to
283Mb digital bitmap file via Epson Perfection 3200 scanner neg mode.
Resampled 1:1 to original art size, image will resolve at 1780 dpi(!)
This later made it into my
Really Really Really Good Productions
All-Day Coloring Book © 1975, © 2003
as a black and white outline drawing.
On the original, this detail would be 2.25 × 1 inches (6 × 2.5 cm).
On the archive neg this same area is 1.16 × 0.52 inches (3.1 × 1.2 cm).
On the original, this detail would be 3.0 × 0.75 inches (7.6 × 1.9 cm).
On the archive neg this same area is 1.5 × 0.4 inches (3.8 × 1.0 cm).
All the images presented in this post, and in my other recent posts — Another BLAST-FROM-THE-PAST entry — The Incident — TAROT Major Arcana — The Mermaid Sisters — Hookah Corner Embellishment — were drawn by me between 1969 and 1975. They are culled from a collection of high-quality color internegs and transparencies commissioned at the time of production.
These images represent the beginning of my new scanner explorations into my earliest fine arts efforts from the distant past. There are many more in queue but my goal is to take each master scan and clean it up by hand before resampling for the various purposes I have ultimately in mind. Scratch and dust removal software is OK for crude res images but not for 3200-6400 ppi hi-res scans intended as print resource files for intricate, detailed drawings. Accordingly, I've got to devote sincere time and focus to that work no matter how much fun it is to resample them "quick and dirty" for posting here. I will still be popping some of the more enticing of these oldies into view here from time to time for your perusal.
Don't throw the past away
You might need it some rainy day
Dreams can come true again
When ev'ry thing old is new again
EVERYTHING OLD IS NEW AGAIN
